David M. Crane is the first American to be named the Chief Prosecutor of an international war crimes tribunal since Justice Robert Jackson at Nuremberg in 1945. He is one of the most recognizable international criminal lawyers in the world, renowned as the person who took down the most powerful warlord in Africa, President Charles Taylor of Liberia - the only person to have taken down a sitting head of state for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the modern era. Crane is now leading the international effort to hold President Assad of Syria and his henchmen accountable.
